They ought to leave the fishing dock open. All it does is collect $5 bills.

I went this morning and it was really slow, only caught two keepers and 6 dinks. This was in 4 hours time. Tried all my normal colors and even a few new one with no luck. Water is more stained than usual, hope it comes back around soon.

It should start to come around again! There will be tons of fresh structure and grass the spawn should be really good here in the next month too.

Went on Saturday from about noon. It was very slow, 5 or 6 guys fishing and only four keepers. Last couple of hours, not even dinks. But tell you what, it was awesome seeing that lake after this big rain. No more stumps/trees in the main part of lake south of the dock. First slip is maybe 25 feet from rocks, the ramp is not even close to steep now. Fish will regroup and join us there soon. You have to spend a day re-learning depths and brush locations, changes are drastic.

Yes they are mo'crappie man. It was horrible Saturday wasn't it? I went back out early Sunday about 7am. I had high hopes of a descent day, as I just knew it couldn't get any worse than Saturday. Oh, how I was wrong. Fished till 4. I caught 1 descent fish and only 5 total(dinks incuded). Water is way muddy/murky! Worse than it looked Saturday. Hard north wind Saturday and then hard out of the south on Sunday except for complete calmness till about 9am yesterday had the water looking stagnent and bad in the early morn. The wind came on and the wake on the lake looking south from the dock was brown/red looking. Still had some run off yesterday going into lake. If it is going to rain again it needs to hurry up and go ahead and fill it up so this water will settle and fish move back in. Can't take anymore days like the past 2.

its going to take probably another week for the bigs to move back. the bite has been horrible. Not even the littles ones are biting but if you catch one that is what it will be is a lil 6incher. Tried it again today and caught two dinks in 2 hours. Maybe this front coming in and some colder consitent weather next week and hopefully they come in and turn on. Cant take much more of this. Im going to give it a few days then try again. five days straight and only 4 keepers size fish tells me they just arent in there and its time take a break. starting to question my sanity on how i could sit there and fish/hunt them suckers for 8 hours and not catch anything.

Yes, but for only 2.5 hours this morning. And it was really cold and windy. Both of the rods I was using had ice forming on the tips and only managed one keeper and three under sized fish. Did get some really good bites.
